Yea you dont want to keep the rockwool too wet, just wet enough, but it kinda sounds like you're in a aeroponics cloner/propagator? I would say if your plants look healthy and the roots are kickin keep doing what ur doin.
Day time temps should be 70-80, night should be 60-70, a ten degree day/night diff is ideal. I would hook up your fan to a Humidistat/thermostat. It will kick on when your temps and/or humidity are out of the rang you set, and you can set up day and night temps separatly.
